MACHESNEY PARK — A Machesney Park man was arrested today on multiple counts of distributing and possessing child porn after investigators with Attorney General Lisa Madigan’s office and the Winnebago County State’s Attorney’s Office raided his residence.

Jordan Stoltz, 23, of the 1000 block of Kingsley Drive, was booked into the Winnebago County Jail on charges of three counts of distribution of child pornography, a class X felony each punishable by six to 30 years in prison, and three counts of possession of child pornography, a class 2 felony each punishable by three to seven years in prison. Bond was set at $250,000.

The raid was part of Madigan’s “Operation Glass House,” a statewide initiative to apprehend the most active offenders who download and trade child pornography online.

This is the 62nd arrest of Operation Glass House, which was launched in 2010.

Madigan’s investigation was assisted by the Winnebago County Sheriff’s Office, and the Winnebago County State’s Attorney’s Office will prosecute the case.

In addition to Operation Glass House, Madigan leads the Illinois Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force with a grant from the U.S. Department of Justice. The Task Force investigates child exploitation crimes and trains local and county level law enforcement agencies throughout Illinois to do the same.

Since 2006, Madigan’s ICAC task force has been involved in 770 arrests of sexual predators. The task force has also provided Internet safety training and education to more than 367,400 parents, teachers and students and more than 17,500 law enforcement professionals.
